# Policy details

> Analyze a policy's implementation and impact by reviewing its risk factors, assigned endpoints, and endpoint groups, and manage where the policy is deployed across your environment.

The **Policy Details** page provides detailed information about a selected policy, including the risk factors it contains, the endpoints to which it is assigned, and the endpoint groups through which it is deployed.

Basic policy information, including the policy name, description, its current state,  and controls, is displayed on the Policies page. For more information about these sections, see  [Policies page](/docs/viewing-policies) .

The page contains the following tabs:

* **Risk Factors** : Displays the risk factors included in the policy and their current impact across managed endpoints.
* **Endpoints**: Displays endpoints to which the policy is assigned, either directly or through endpoint groups.
* **Endpoint Groups**: Displays endpoint groups associated with the policy and provides visibility into policy coverage across the environment.

## Risk Factors

The **Risk Factors** tab displays all risk factors included in the selected policy. Use this tab to review the risk factors evaluated by the policy, their severity, associated controls, and their impact across managed endpoints.

| Column          | Shows                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Risk Factor** | The name of the risk factor. Clicking the risk factor name opens the corresponding **Risk Factor Details** page.                                                                                                                                            |
| **Severity**    | The severity assigned to the risk factor within the policy. Displayed as an icon and one of the following values: **Critical**, **High**, **Medium**, or **Low**. Please note, that the same riks factor can have different severity in different policies. |
| **Enabled**     | Indicates whether the risk factor is enabled in the policy. In the current version, all risk factors are always enabled.                                                                                                                                    |
| **Control**     | The controls associated with the risk factor within the selected policy.                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| **Endpoints**   | The number of endpoints, available to the current user, where the risk factor is currently active. Clicking the value opens the Endpoints page filtered by both the selected policy and risk factor.                                                        |

You can use filters to find the required risk factors. The filters include:

* Risk Factor
* Active status (select only risk factoirs currently active on at least one endpoint)
* Enabled status
* Severity (**Critical**, **High**, **Medium**, or **Low**)
* Control
* Endpoints Count (select risk factors affecting more than or fewer than a specified number of endpoints)

## Endpoints

The **Endpoints** tab displays endpoints that can be associated with the selected policy. Use this tab to review current policy assignments and identify endpoints that are available for policy deployment.

Endpoints are organized into two lists:

* **Assigned Endpoints**: Endpoints to which the policy is currently assigned, either directly or through endpoint group assignment.
* **Available Endpoints**: Endpoints to which the policy is not currently assigned but can be assigned.

To find an endpoint, enter all or part of its name in the search box above the lists. The search is applied to both lists simultaneously.

To assign or unassign a policy, move endpoints between the lists. For detailed instructions, see  [Managing policies](/docs/managing-policies).

## Endpoint Groups

The **Endpoint Groups** tab displays endpoint groups that can be associated with the selected policy. Use this tab to review the policy deployment scope and manage policy assignments for multiple endpoints at once.

Endpoint groups are organized into two lists:

* **Assigned Endpoint Groups**: Endpoint groups to which the policy is currently assigned.
* **Available Endpoint Groups**: Endpoint groups to which the policy is not currently assigned but can be assigned.

To find an endpoint group, enter all or part of its name in the search box above the lists. The search is applied to both lists simultaneously.

To assign or unassign a policy, move endpoint groups between the lists. For detailed instructions, see  [Managing policies](/docs/managing-policies).
